Dry Eyes and humidity

Since we have had the warm weather recently my eyes have been very comfortable.

I assume it is because of the humidity inside and out. I have also done a lot of washing to hang indoors , so the humidity is over 50 %.

It is a change to have to remember to install the lubricant drops, usually it is difficult to forget as they have been so dry since surgery.

The surgery was last December 2020 and March 2021 so this is the first warm period since then.

We do have low humidity in the house in the cool months , about 30 -40 %.

Do others also have this benefit ? or is it coincidence ?

That's great to hear that your eyes are feeling better. I'm still having to use the lubricant drops. Enjoy the warmth !
